"Excuse me! What are you talking about? Enrich is a mind blowing, jaw-dropping place to come to. Even though we only come here for one day per week. You can never say that about Enrich!"
Now if you think this post will be all about me going on about how Enrich is such an awesome, breathtaking, stunning place to come to, well you are 100% wrong. Why would I go on about how awesome it is, (even though it REALLY is).... that would just be so boring? Why don't I talk about how awesome our day is going so far and how we did this very entertaining Technology Challenge? Whoops, I wasn't supposed to say that to you, it was meant to be a big surprise. What a shame.
Anyway, why don't I tell you what the Technology Challenge was and how we were heroes. Yes heroes. But I can only tell you how we were heroes if you promise not to tell anyone. It is huge secret between you and me.
This top secret challenge was about saving flour and sugar babies. Yep, that's about it. Carrying flour and sugar babies on a homemade stretcher. This seems like an easy challenge but when you find out that you have to make the stretcher out of newspaper, string and tape, your mouth drops. Like, literally drops. Only having twenty minutes to make this stretcher seems like a long time but it feels like you have walked ten steps. A team of four, twenty minutes, newspaper, string and tape=Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Go!
My group (Violet, Kady, Pearl and myself) started to get to work on discussing our ideas and choosing the best one. We chose Pearl's.
Lots of newspaper, roll the sides up.
String attached to the end of newspaper.
Tape, tape, no more tape.
The time is up. The battle against good and evil has begun.
Four flour and sugar babies sitting on our stretcher, helplessly waiting to be carried across the course. Violet and I are ready to carry the babies to the other side of the obstacle course. Katie is ready to start the timer. The babies are ready.
Go!
1 handle destroyed. 2 handles destroyed. 3 handles destroyed. One more to go, Violet drags the last handle across the floor until it falls off.
Our stretcher was destroyed but the babies weren't! We won! Our babies are still alive. No we didn't win - we lost like most of the other teams. There was only one team that won and it wasn't us. I have learnt that when in a group we should all work together to get the job done (properly) like Bob the Builder says.
